Manhattan, Kansas ain't no place to have a baby
If you've got no man to give it his last name
And my folks back in Manhattan didn't want me or my bundle
So I took my child and caught an evening train
I got a job in Denver washing dishes in a diner
At least it buys my baby milk to drink
He once told me I was pretty, but the only ring it got me
Was the ring of grease that runs around the sink
Yes, I lay beside him gentle, oh he told me that he loved me
And he made me dance before the music played
But at least I didn't beg him, I'd rather wash my dishes
It makes me feel as if my hands are clean
At night, I stand there thinkin' about the men back home in Kansas
And how my folks just turned away to shame
I look down through the soap suds, reached down and pulled the drain plug
And watch it as Manhattan drains away
Yes, I lay beside him gentle, oh he told me that he loved me
And he made me dance before the music played
But at least I didn't beg him, I'd rather wash my dishes
It makes me feel as if my hands are clean
If you've got no man to give it his last name
And my folks back in Manhattan didn't want me or my bundle
So I took my child and caught an evening train
I got a job in Denver washing dishes in a diner
At least it buys my baby milk to drink
He once told me I was pretty, but the only ring it got me
Was the ring of grease that runs around the sink
Yes, I lay beside him gentle, oh he told me that he loved me
And he made me dance before the music played
But at least I didn't beg him, I'd rather wash my dishes
It makes me feel as if my hands are clean
At night, I stand there thinkin' about the men back home in Kansas
And how my folks just turned away to shame
I look down through the soap suds, reached down and pulled the drain plug
And watch it as Manhattan drains away
Yes, I lay beside him gentle, oh he told me that he loved me
And he made me dance before the music played
But at least I didn't beg him, I'd rather wash my dishes
It makes me feel as if my hands are clean
